Had to hold it under the exhaust pipe to get loose. Ears were so cold thought they might fly off when I fired the first shot. Five shots was all I could get off before I started locking up from the cold wind. Fifty yards was as far as I could get to set a target without snow shoes. The whole thing was a dumb idea but it does go bang. Joe. Sounds like a typical winter day helping dad when I was a kid only no shooting. You wonder why I don't go back?

Warm and dry from here on out Are you starting a Roller collection to rival the Ballards, Joe?

	I will be bringing my 38-55 High Wall again. I have some Swiss 3F on the way. Going for tighter groups this time. We should get some details together and see how many others want to participate. Pete shot last year. Maybe Sue and Gary would be interested. Any restriction on position. I am thinking sitting (on a soft pad) using cross stix Canadian style with one hand on the stix might be more comfortable. Jack

	Joe, your gorgeous Rolling Block prompted me to get going on my own Rolling Block project. It wont be as high end as yours, but it will be a pistol grip sporting rifle. I've had a .43 Spanish sporting rifle for awhile. Picked up one of the pistol grip trigger plates that Numrich bought from Remington, and fitted it to the action. Have a stock set, and a 1:16 GM full octagon barrel that will be cut to 34" and chambered in .40-65 Win. The donor action has a crack in the upper tang, so I need to weld that up and slim down the tang to sporting width. Hope to have it shooting by this summer if all goes well for fitting and finish work.

	Lots of guys having trouble with prone. What about those who don't see iron sights? How many out on that one?

	I am fine with iron sights. BP and scopes just don't really fit. Prone is usually fine except at Spokane. I will try to remember to bring my shooting mat. It was a bit cramped shooting between the benches. I like the idea of moving out to the dirt. Now all we need are a couple of real buffaloes. Jack

	Quote: A live buffalo shoot? Well, it is private property. Would have to talk to Tommy about it. Problem would be the increased interest. Might have to have four relays at least. Making me hungry thinking about it............ Joǝ. Well, there is always a live turkey shoot available Just put the feeder up on the 200 yard line. We could have a good feed the next day, assuming you guys do well. Frank
